■The College board cleared
the way for the United Labor
■tire ment Association to fur
ther develop the plan for elder
ly; housing on Campus by ap-
proving a “memorandum of
understanding” at the May 13
Board of Education meeting.
The memorandum will allow
the ULRA to seek federal funds
and grants to finance the con
struction of a senior housing
facility. The board also agreed,
in concept, to give the ULRA a
40-year lease for the College
property to be used.
Dr. John Hakanson, College
president, commented that
passage of the project concept
would permit the ULRA to start
developing specifics of the pro
posal. The College, according
to Hakanson, should view the
project as an opportunity to
provide training’ programs in
health care, housing facilties
management and food
preparation.
Casting the only dissenting
vote, board member Larry
Wright of Canby voiced his
concern over losing the proper
ty at a time when the student
population is growing and .the
current College facilities are
overcrowded.
“Our recreation fields are
already overused, crowded on
weekends,” Wright said. “We
need the room for future
growth.’*
Board members Bonnie
Jones of Estacada and Ann
Nickel of Milwaukie were not
present for the vote.
In other business, the board
debated for more than an hour
on policy for funding new and
replacement equipment. A
review of the existing repair
and equipment schedule was
requested by Nickel.
The board then, unanimously
approved a motion by board
member Ralph Groener of
Oregon City that the board not
- approve' new programs until
and unless the equipment
needs of existing prograrite are
adequately funded.
Nickel expressed concern
that an equipment replacement
and repair schedule be main
tained and funded on à con
tinual basis.
The discussion was tabled
until the June board meeting to
give the members time to
develop their individual posi
tions.
In other action, the board
approved a resolution calling
for bids on the campus pro
gram moves and relocation
plans, rejected all current con
struction bids for a livestock
facility because of irregularities
in the bidding process, and ap
proved a salary increase for
part-time, non-credit instruc
tors.

The Associated Student
Government
recently
appointed and confirmed its
only currently handicapped
senator, Jay Schaller:.
Schaller was bom .in 1959
with cerebral palsy, a disability
stemming from- damaged
motor centers of the brain,
causing muscular uncoordina
tion.
Growing up in Portland, he
attended Wilson High School
until 1977 when he began stu
dying computer programming
at Portland Community Col
lege and received his GED in
1978. Last fall, he transferred
to CCC and changed his major
to psychology. Last term,
Schaller
decided
to
study special education and is
currently enrolled in a pjrac-
ticum course working in local
group homes for the handicap-
’ ped.
Schaller first took an interest
in student government a few
months ago. He said he went
to newly elected ASG Presi
dent Sam Crosby and offered
his assistance. Crosby pointed
^out that there were two vacant
senate seats, and on April 30,
the ASG nominated Schaller
to the senate.
“We’re happy Jay accepted
our invitation,” said Crosby.
“He’ll be an asset to us because
he’s got a little spunk in him,
and having minorities (han
dicapped students) involved
will broaden everyone’s
perspective on what’s needed
on campus.” Crosby added,
“Everyone’s willing to work
with Jay because of his will
ingness to work with us.”
Schaller said he is excited
about being involved in student
government. “It’s important to
me because it’s another learn
ing experience and a chance to
learn more about the school
and how it works. I’ve found
that the government does more
than I thought it did before I got
involved,” said Schaller. “They
help a lot of on-campus ac
tivities with finances and
organization.”
Currently, Schaller is aiding
the ASG in the planning and
organization of the all-school
picnic on dupe 5, an on-
campus food drive scheduled
for June (with no definite date
